or you just charge people for time spent using the gear. Have many sound proof small rooms with each amp in them and they can choose the guitar and pedal they want and have at it. :whistle: :crackjam: Also, have monitors showing artists using these particular amps with a few paragraphs below it describing what they are seeing. Give people the history and it makes it more real, more exciting. Now the guest is more a part of what they're jamming on. Basically, an interactive classic amp, guitar, pedal museum. Not thought I've thought about this. :lol:

Hell yeah Jim. Mind blown!! Love love love the brownies, and that's a great collection! I used to have a Princeton and still have a Super that's dead quiet at idle. The presence knob on the bigger Browns is so great. Center volume ones are über rare. How did you find that Pro (nice JBL)? And that Concert! Just :headpop:

Wow!! That pro,Princeton and vibrolux are amazing!!!!! All have excellent tone. The Princeton has a great overdrive when pushed. On the hunt for a cherry narrow panel Pro. :tu: :crackjam:
